Glenn Greenwald beating lefties like a rented mule?

So says this post at Insty.  Two things that grabbed me:  Glenn Greenwald, and Maddow saying that the Russians control our government.

Greenwald seemed pretty critical of George W. Bush, if memory serves.  Somehow, I got him connected to the war in Iraq, but that war doesn't figure prominently in the Wikipedia writeup about him.

So, what to make of Greenwald?  I'll wager that he is a self-serving twit, like most of the people in the media.  He wants to look good, so he'll attach himself to anything that makes him look like he's hot stuff.   He seems to be writing against the Russian collusion allegations, but he is no friend of Trump.  He's on the side that's winning ( Trump ), but critical of him too, so he doesn't lose all that good press he gets from his buddies.

He's given a lot of hype by certain media types, and that is about all he seems to be, if you ax me.

As for Maddow, she is a joke.  Anybody who says the Russians are controlling our government has got rocks in their heads.  The Russians are deeply paranoid about our government.  I see the Russians fighting the same things that Trump is fighting in this country today.  It so happens that the main part of that is this hyper-globalist take-over the-world-attitude of the New World Order types that Maddow seems to identify with.  That Trump is fighting it doesn't mean that the Russians somehow conned all those American people to vote for him so as to help Putin out.  Putin and the Russians can fight their own battles, we've got ours right here. 

As for Trump being controlled by the Russians, once again, if there was any evidence of this, we'd have had it before election day 2016.  No way that they can keep this a secret nowadays.

If you have to cite Greenwald over the Russian collusion thing, it must mean something is missing upstairs.  Criticizing Maddow is like shooting fish in a barrel.
